Salvation, O the joyful sound!

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #362 (1828) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Christian experience The convert entertaining hope of pardon Lyrics: 1 Salvation! O the joyful sound! What pleasure to our ears; A sov'reign balm for ev’ry wound, A cordial for our fears. 2 Buried in sorrow and in sin, At hell's dark door we lay: But we arise by grace divine, To see a heav'nly day. 3 Salvation! let the echo fly The spacious earth around; While all the armies of the sky Conspire to raise the sound.

My soul doth magnify the Lord

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #363 (1828) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Christian experience The convert entertaining hope of pardon Lyrics: 1 My soul doth magnify the Lord, My spirit doth rejoice In God, my Saviour, and my God; I hear his joyful voice. 2 I need not go abroad for joy, Who have a feast at home; My sighs are turn'd into songs,-- The Comforter is come. 3 Down from above, the blessed Dove Is come into my breast, To witness God's eternal love; This is my heav'nly feast. 4 There is a stream that issues forth From God's eternal throne, And from the Lamb, a living stream, Clear as the crystal stone. 5 That stream doth water paradise; It makes the angels sing: One cordial drop revives my heart; Hence all my joys do spring. Scripture: Luke 1:46

Come, ye that love the Lord

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #367 (1828) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Christian experience The convert entertaining hope of pardon Lyrics: 1 Come, ye that love the Lord, And let our joys be known; Join in a song with sweet accord, And thus surround the throne. 2 Let those refuse to sing Who never knew our God: But servants of the heav'nly King, May speak their joys abroad. 3 The God, who rules on high, Who all the earth surveys, Who rides upon the stormy sky, And calms the roaring seas: 4 This awful God is ours, Our Father and our love; He will send down his heav'nly pow'rs, To carry us above. 5 There we shall see his face, And never, never sin! There, from the rivers of his grace, Drink endless pleasures in. 6 Yea, and before we rise To that immortal state, The thoughts of such amazing bliss Should constant joys create. 7 The men of grace have found Glory begun below. Celestial fruit on earthly ground From faith and hope may grow. 8 Then let our songs abound, And ev'ry tear be dry: We're marching through Immanuel's ground, To fairer worlds on high.

Not all the nobles of the earth

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #368 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Christian experience The convert entertaining hope of pardon Lyrics: 1 Not all the nobles of the earth, Who boast the honours of their birth, Such real dignity can claim, As those who bear the Christian name. 2 To them the privilege is giv'n, To be the sons and heirs of heav'n; Sons of the God who reigns on high, And heirs of joys beyond the sky. 3 His will he makes them early know, And teaches their young feet to go; Whispers instruction to their minds, And on their hearts his precepts binds. 4 Their daily wants his hands supply: Their steps he guards with watchful eye, Leads them from earth to heav'n above, And crowns them with eternal love. 5 If I've the honour, Lord! to be One of this num'rous family: On me the gracious gift bestow, To call thee Abba, Father, too. 6 So may my conduct ever prove My filial piety and love! Whilst all my brethren clearly trace Their Father's likeness on my face.

There is a glorious world on high

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #371 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Christian experience The convert entertaining hope of pardon Lyrics: 1 There is a glorious world on high, Resplendent with eternal day; Faith views the blissful prospect nigh, While God's own word reveals the way. 2 There shall the fav'rites of the Lord With never-fading lustre shine. Surprising honour! vast reward! Conferr'd on man by love divine. 3 How blest are those, how truly wise, Who learn and keep the sacred road! Happy the men, whom heav'n employs To turn rebellious hearts to God; 4 To win them from the fatal way Where erring folly thoughtless roves; And that blest righteousness display, Which Jesus taught and God approves. 5 The shining firmament shall fade, And sparkling stars resign their light: But these shall know nor change nor shade, For ever fair, for ever bright. 6 On wings of faith and strong desire, O may our spirits daily rise; And reach at last the shining choir, In the bright mansions of the skies!

The sinner converted

Hymnal: A Selection of Psalms and Hymns #CCXCVIIb (1790) Topics: The Sinner Converted First Line: When with my mind divinely prest Lyrics: 1 When with my mind devoutly prest Dear Saviour, my revolving breast Wou'd past offences trace; Trembling I make the black review, Yet pleas'd behold admiring too, The pow'r of changing grace. 2 This tongue with blasphemies defil'd, These feet, to erring paths beguil'd, In heav'nly league agree; Who cou'd believe such lips cou'd praise, Or think from dark and winding ways Should ever lead to thee? 3 These eyes that once abus'd their sight, Now lift to thee their wat'ry light, And weep a silent flood; These hands are rais'd in ceaseless pray'r; O wash away the stains they wear, In pure redeeming blood! 4 These ears, that pleas'd cou'd entertain The midnight oath, the lustful strain, When round the festal board; Now deaf to all th' inchanting noise, Avoid the throng, detest the joys, And long to hear thy word. 5 Thus art thou serv'd in ev'ry part; And now thou dost transform my heart, That drossy thing refine: That grace may nature's strength controul, And a new creature — body — soul, Are, LORD, for ever thine!
